Windows 10: Nvidia OpenGL Driver crashing

Hello,I've been getting crashes constantly while playing games due to the Nvidia drivers crashing.I have tried many drivers using DDU but the crashes stayed. So, it is not a heating problem and not a driver issue.Any Help?Here are the Event Viewer error logs:1* The description for Event ID 1 from source NVIDIA OpenGL Driver cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation&nb

OpenGL Drivers

Hi Ayden -

This is Orlando, an Independent advisor and an expert with Windows 10. I understand that you can't play the game that you purchase without having OpenGL 3.2 above on your computer.

OpenGL, short for Open Graphics Library, is the standard 3D Graphics API and is often required in some games or software. It will provide these programs with graphics and images. It is worth noting that OpenGL aims to communicate with the GPU (Graphics Processing
Unit) so as to improve the performance of the hardware.

It is said that if not updating the OpenGL drivers, your PC will automatically set the OpenGL to its default version, namely, OpenGL 1.1. In this way, there is a high probability that you can’t enjoy the maximized gaming experience.

While in order to get the OpenGL drivers updated, you need only update the display driver as OpenGL driver will come along with the driver you download. For instance, if you are using Intel HD graphics card, try to update the Intel driver so as to get the latest
OpenGL driver installed.

You can try the method below to update the OpenGL on your computer:

Method 1: Update your graphics driver manually

1. Navigate to your graphics card manufacturer official website. (Intel, AMD or NVIDIA)

2. On the official site, navigate to the graphics driver and choose your operating system. Download the latest drivers for your graphics card and install it to your computer. This will also update the OpenGL on your computer.

Method 2:Update OpenGL Driver in Device Manager

Otherwise, it makes sense to get the OpenGL driver from the graphics driver within Windows 10. That is to say, you can attempt to let Windows device manager find the driver you need.

1. Open Device Manager.

2. Expand Display adapters and then right click the graphics driver to Update driver. Here your display card may be AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA or any other ones with different brands.

3. Try to Search automatically for the updated driver software.

If possible, the Device Manager will locate the latest graphics driver for you. You can install it on Windows 10 in the hope that the OpenGL driver can be updated.

Hope this helps, have a good day.

Thanks,



Independent Advisor

 

NVIDIA Releases Preview Drivers with OpenGL 4.4 ICD

NVIDIA followed up on Monday's OpenGL 4.4 API launch with its first preview driver that includes GL 4.4 ICD (installable client driver).

Windows 10 Creators update disables nVidia 3DVision OpenGL stereo

Mostly good news today:

NVidia beta driver 384.76 from June 29, 2017 is working for OpenGL stereo on Windows 10 version 1703 "Creators" in the following reported cases:

-- Desktop with nVidia Quadro M2000

-- Desktop with nVidia Quadro M4000

-- Desktop with nVidia Quadro K620

The customer who reported success with the Quadro K620 first tried an nVidia Quadro 4000 in the same computer with driver 384.76, and it didn't work. The 4000 predates the K, M, or P-series cards. The 4000 is about the oldest card we would consider trying
with Windows 10, and has an older OpenGL version than the later series. The 4000 is listed by nVidia in the supported products for 384.76; I only have this one case to report that it does not work.
